The key to scoring in Speed Buggy is driving over the colored flags in the order they appear at the top of your info screen. The flags you get light up and the one you need flash at the top of the screen. By going back and forth and finding the flags in order, it will flash all flags when they all have been run over. Then every flag you run over while flashing is a wild color flag and counts as the next color in line and you can run over enuff flags to make them flash again. You get more points doing all this on 2 wheels. The timer expires if you don't make it around for each lap. Finish early and get bonus time for the next lap. Bonus time at the end of a race is big points and number of flags times perfect lap bonus.
This game was licensed from Tatsumi which also licensed TX-1 to Atari. The boards may be very similar. Speed Buggy also came in a deluxe sit-down 3-monitor version just like TX-1.
